Modern Furniture

So,  you move into a new home. The empty space is the blank canvas that you get to work with. An empty room can be as challenging to a homeowner as a blank page is to a writer - and just as satisfying once you’ve figured out what you want to say. If you’re designing your dream home, you may have the luxury of deciding how many square feet will go where. But most of us work within existing rooms, squeeze favorite possessions into new spaces, and see the spaces transformed. The size of a room may determine proportion, but it needn’t limit your imagination.

Making a success of a small space remains the greatest challenge for many of us, but the imagination and ingenuity required often result in unexpected charm. Every part of the room offers storage possibilities - overhead and under furniture, on floors and on walls. Look for items that can be hung, tucked beneath the bed, or stored up high out of sight. Dual-purpose modern furniture like daybeds and nesting tables also help make economic use of limited space, while floating shelves (rather than solid bookcases) and hanging lights (instead of standing lamps) expand visual space.
